Thread: New blade coming

Hey All!!

I have a new str8 coming in the mail, a Double Arrow, 7/8, full hollow, should be here in a few days.

I want to be able to take good care of my new razor, while saving money as well, which means I don't want to have to pay anyone to hone it for me.

My problem is that I can't afford a really nice hone and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for keeping a blade nice for cheap, and by "cheap" I mean as close to free as you can possibly get, if not completely free.

If I can manage this, there is a str8 at my local antique shop for $15 that I'll go pick up too.

Thanks in advance.

I would not be opposed to paying shipping if someone had a hone that is not being used, even an old one, that they wanted to send me.
